When Seaver came to the familiar Mercenary Guild again, he was no longer as depressed as he was at the Oak Bucket Tavern. Seaver Hulan, dressed in a gown and carefully groomed, rose to his feet and became the energetic young gentleman again.

“Elves are also leopards. A good dress is not expensive, it fits!” Seaver occasionally tugged at his vest and muttered to himself to vent his dissatisfaction.

This dress was indeed elegant and dignified. It was produced by the Blue Mirror Clothing Shop at Bird’s Gate, where there were the best tailors in the city. In order to make time, Qin Lun didn’t ask the tailor to tailor it for Seaver. Instead, he spent money to buy a dress that was customized by others.

Of course, it wasn’t that the dress wasn’t good-looking, but that the custom-made guest was already middle-aged and fat. Although the clothes were about the same length, they were definitely different from the skinny figure of a young man like Seaver. Simply put, it was too spacious and didn’t fit.

Hearing Seaver’s nagging, Qin Lun, who was following behind him, rolled his eyes and ignored him. His stay was more precious than gold, so how could he waste it on such a thing?

“Look, that noble kid from Tyser is here again!”

Because Seaver had already issued several missions to the Mercenary Guild in a short month, many mercenaries knew the leader of the Chamber of Commerce who wanted to search for his companions in the Land of Death.

“Does he still have money? Didn’t he hear that he hired the notorious Sandwolf Mercenary Group last time and was robbed by them?” At the corner of the guild, a rodent-headed mercenary asked his companion softly.

The mercenary corps that lived along the coast of Sword Bay generally valued their reputation. The Sandwolf Mercenary Group that looted Schiffer was basically not a regular mercenary organization, but an outsider group from an evil organization like the Santalin Society.

When Seaver hired them, there were good people who hinted at him. It was only because of this kid’s illness that he suffered a huge loss, resulting in him being robbed by them after leaving the city.

Of course, the fact that the Sandwolf Mercenary Group didn’t kill anyone after taking the money meant that Sandwolf Mercenary didn’t want to end things.

“I don’t know. It’s been a month. Maybe his family in Tyser sent the money.” The slightly older middle-aged companion beside him shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

“Hehe, Guild Leader, this brat has a lot of stupid money. Should we take this deal and come back from the periphery of the Land of Death just like the previous mercenary groups?” The rodent-eyed young mercenary encouraged his captain.

“Haha, it’s different this time. I have a hunch that the guys who took over this deal will not be too relaxed.” The adventure-minded mercenary captain gave his subordinate a meaningful look and raised his chin to signal, “Look at Silver-haired elf behind that brat. He doesn’t look like a fuel-efficient lamp!”

The rodent-eyed mercenary stared intently at Seaver and saw that there was indeed a hooded Silver-haired elf not far behind him. Behind Elves was a large cloth bag. From the looks of it, it should be a huge longbow.

Apart from that, there was also a short sword stuck in his waist. It was a typical Elves Ranger outfit. Looking at the simple and old leather armor he wore, the sharp gaze under his hood, and his constant vigilance, it showed that Elves should be an experienced adventurer.

There were many large forests near the Border Gate, and the mercenary corps here also had Elves Rangers who were hired to take risks. They knew that this kind of combat profession was very difficult to provoke.

While the two mercenaries were discussing softly, the other mercenaries in the guild hall were also secretly examining the two of them. Of course, most of the people’s attention was on Qin Lun compared to the familiar Tyser noble brat. At the same time, they came to the same conclusion as the two mercenaries.

Qin Lun quietly looked at the undercurrents in the hall. He was different from the three murderers. In the end, he decided to come with Seaver to the Mercenary Union.

One was that he hadn’t been exposed much in the underground temple of the Amberry Church, and the two secret silver arrows he shot out had been recovered. Others only knew that he was an archer, but there weren’t a thousand archers in Border Gate, and there were also 800 archers.

Another point was that Seaver had repeatedly said that the people from the Mercenary Guild were very familiar with him, but it would be a waste of time for him to go forward alone for fear of provoking shameless people. Since Seaver was a familiar face of the Mercenary Guild, the suspicions of Qin Lun’s outsiders could be diluted a lot, so he decided to follow along.

The fact proved that the effect of his following was very obvious. At least, under his vigilant gaze, many mercenaries who were eager to move after seeing Schiffer retreated. Naturally, these people weren’t really taking on the mission, they just wanted to earn money from this fool Seaver.

“Cough cough, Linda, I’ll release the commission.” Seaver walked to the reception window of the Mercenary Guild and said to a pretty little girl across from the bars.

“It’s you, Mr. Seaver. Are you alright?” The little girl on the other side raised her head from behind the pile of documents and pushed the large black-framed glasses on her nose with a somewhat happy expression.

“It’s okay. You should call me Seaver.” Seaver looked a little embarrassed and smiled embarrassedly.

“Mr. Seaver, is it still the search mission for the Land of Death?” Linda sighed and advised with a worried expression, “I’m sorry, but your companion has been missing in the Land of Death for more than a month … You should give up. Moreover, something like that happened earlier. Don’t waste your gold coins hiring people you don’t know.”

“It’s different this time. My family has sent me a few guards … However, they are too few and need some mercenaries as helpers.” Seaver smiled dryly and opened the window, revealing Qin Lun behind him.

“Alright then! However, this is the last time. Next time, I won’t help you register.” The little girl scrutinized Qin Lun seriously, frowned and said in a low voice.

“Thank you, thank you, Linda!” Seaver agreed with a red face.

Qin Lun carefully observed the little girl called Linda in front of him, and the corner of his mouth revealed an undetectable smile. The little girl looked quite ordinary and dressed plainly. The large black-framed eyes on the bridge of her nose made her look a little rustic, concealing her natural beauty.

After the two of them finished registering their employment commission, they walked out of the door of the Mercenary Union. Many whispers rang out in the guild hall. Obviously, Seaver was a very good topic.

…

“Do you know that man just now?” In the corner of the hall, a tall figure wearing a hood asked a short black figure beside him.

“There’s nothing the Mercenary Guild doesn’t know about him. He’s just an idiot, not the person you’re looking for.” The short black shadow’s voice was somewhat hoarse, as if his throat had been injured, so he answered casually.

“What about Silver-haired elf behind him?” The tall black cloak was a little unwilling.

“That Elves is a bit unfamiliar, but there are too many foreign mercenaries at the Bird Gate. I can’t recognize everyone.” “Didn’t your priest say that this incident was most likely done by other forces in the city … That Tyser brat has nothing to do with them and has no use for them. The people around him are not worthy of suspicion,” the short black shadow said softly.

The voices of the two conversing slowly lowered and gradually drowned out in the noise. Qin Lun and Seaver naturally didn’t know that they had already dodged a calamity just now.

After leaving the Mercenary Guild for a while, Qin Lun casually asked, “Do you know that little girl called Linda just now?”

Linda was very kind. She was the one who reminded me not to hire the Sandwolf Mercenary Group. Unfortunately, I was too anxious and didn’t listen to her. Seaver exhaled heavily, as if he could not bear to look back on his past.

“En!” Qin Lun nodded noncommittally. Suddenly, he frowned slightly and took two steps back. He pointed his toes and jumped onto the roof of a house beside the street. At the same time, he stretched out his right hand and removed the large cloth bag behind him.

Qin Lun stood on the roof, his eyes burning. The large cloth bag in his hand had been untied by him, revealing a corner of the World Tree longbow.

“What’s the matter?” Seaver shouted nervously. However, after experiencing so many things, he was not at a loss. He consciously hid to the side and hid his body under the eaves.

“We’ve been followed, but we’ve already escaped.” Qin Lun looked at the black shadows that flashed into the alley in the distance. He sneered and put the cloth bag on his back again. He jumped off the roof. “Let’s go back to the tavern. We need to leave Bird’s Gate as soon as possible.”

…

Just as the two of them were heading to the Oak Bucket Tavern, Linda, a girl from the Mercenary Guild, handed over her work to another registrar and went to a room in the back hall of the Guild.

In this small room, there was an old mage sitting on a rattan chair reading. The old mage was dressed in a pure white magic robe. He wore a mage’s pointed hat on his head. He was vigorous, and his beard was pure white. His long white beard hung to his chest, and he held a thick magic book in his hands.

“Teacher!” Linda took off her big black-rimmed glasses to hide her appearance on the bridge of her nose and loosened her bun. Her long blonde hair fell down like a waterfall. Although she was dressed plainly, with the delicate and beautiful appearance of the little girl, the peerless elegance revealed in an instant still made the room flash with an astonishing light.

“You’re here, Linda!” The old mage put down the book in his hand. Looking at Linda’s relaxed expression, he asked in surprise, “What happened? Did something happy happen to you?”

“Nothing much, I just saw an interesting idiot!” Linda smiled as she sat opposite her teacher and told him about Seaver in detail.

“Oh, I seem to have heard you say that last time. That little noble is quite persistent.” Old Mage smiled and asked, “Looks like judging people by their appearances is always wrong. Although that noble disciple is a bit too playful, he is still loyal to his companions.”

“What, do you want to help him?” Old Mage suddenly reacted and frowned. “Linda, our lives are too long. If we have too many conflicts with ordinary people, it will only cause trouble for everyone.”

“Haha, Teacher, are you worried that I will fall in love with him?” Linda blinked mischievously and shook her head with a smile. “You’re thinking too much. I’m just amused.”

“Since you’re so interested, why didn’t you help him first?” Old Mage said with a smile.

“Back then? At that time, he was no different from the other playboys. I didn’t know he had such an interesting side to him, and I hated that Lauvita follower.” Linda sniffled and the image of a red-haired knight appeared in front of her.

“But you don’t have time now. You have to come back to Candlekeep with me in half a month.” Old Mage shook his head, intending to persuade the disciples to give up the idea of a temporary retreat. “It will take at least a week for them to find suitable mercenaries to prepare to set off. Although the Land of Death is not far from the Gate of Bird, with the search time, we will be late for our return to Candlekeep.”

“Teacher, what if I promise to return to Bird’s Gate within half a month?” Linda smiled craftily. “You know, I’m a registrar of the Mercenary Guild. There’s nothing else. It’s easy to find some interesting mercenaries.”

“Haha, you’re really old. You can forget everything. Alright then, if you insist on going, I won’t stop you.” Old Mage slapped his forehead, shook his head and smiled. Then, his expression became serious and he said seriously, “However, you must remember to come back as soon as possible. Also, you are not allowed to follow them to the center of the Land of Death. It is very dangerous there. Even I have to be very careful.”

“Understood, teacher!” Linda laughed like a silver bell. She put on her glasses again, crossed her hair, and pushed the door open. “One, two, one, five, four, seven. Little Linda can take another risk!”

“Haha!” Looking at the cheering disciples, Old Mage let out a gratified laugh. The door behind Linda closed quietly without any wind.

…

“Eh? Strange, there seems to be some movement!” Not long after Linda left, a mercenary employee walked over from the corner and pushed Old Mage’s room away. Looking at the rubbish piled up in the room, he was a little confused. “Find someone to clean up the debris warehouse later. It’s probably full of rats.”
